“I couldn’t agree more with Harry Guthrie who said it would be like Morecambe without Wise. There was definitely nothing wise about Rangers.”

Celtic chief Lawwell reacted to the news by saying his club could be a success without their arch-rivals. Talk about kicking a man when he’s down andJames Stevens, Thornliebank , said: “I am a Celtic fan and I don’t want to see Rangers go out of the game. The SPL needs them and so do we.”

David Montgomerie, Northampton , said: “I am a Rangers fan and I have been expecting this for years so at least it’s out in the open now. I blame Craig Whyte for bringing us down but this will show who the real supporters are.”

Isabella Livingstone, Mount Florida , said: “Whyte is the man to blame and this was no surprise to anyone. I knew there would be trouble ahead when he arrived.”

Colin McGregor, Paisley , said: “I am a Celtic fan and I don’t want to see Rangers go down. But they could lose more than just points as Ibrox and Murray Park could be sold.”

Whyte surely wouldn’t let that happen, would he?

Dave Stewart, Ayr , said: “People need to look at the big picture, clubs like Hearts and Motherwell aren’t bothered if Rangers go bust as they might get their Champions League place.”

Former Rangers chairman David Murray was next to come under fire from the masses.

Ian Thomson, Dunfermline , said: “I am a Rangers supporter and I blame David Murray for selling the club to Whyte when everyone knows he’s a bit of a Del Boy.”

The next man used a another TV personality to jump to the defence of Whyte.

Ian Wylie, Paisley , said: “I have a bit of sympathy for Whyte because he is a lovable rogue like Arthur Daley.”

Everybody has had a say even SNP leader Alex Salmond.

David Lyle, Dundee , said: “When Dundee went into administration did Salmond get involved? No, but now he feels the need to have a view.”

Charlie Crossan, Coatbridge , said: “I thought I saw Billy Connolly going into Ibrox but it was just a guy dropping off some loaves and fishes.”

Joseph Whyte, Greenock, said: “I saw Derek Reid of Dollar say on the Hotline that he hasn’t been well so I hope he is ok.

“I was missing his banter so it was a shock to see him back as I thought he had gone into administration himself.”
